Returning Player, How Should I Gear?

[LionKing]

In my opinion, you only need to run as many as ST runs until you have 5 sands and 5 oils and 1 UTS. 5 sands are used to upgrade the weapon and 5 oils are there for the accessory. Sands and Oils can also be obtained via Hunts, though that is a long way to go. Then just purchase a whole set of Sol gears and accessory by using Soldiery tombs. It is easier to farm soldiery in regular Duns than in a ST and the queue, as a tank, is always almost instants. 1300 Sol tombs + 1 UTS are needed for the weapon and 1 sand to Unweathered the weapon, same for any Weathered Gears. Don't bother to run ST just for the gear because at the end of the day, you will never use them, like at all. You can do all this within a week, with playing time about 5 hours per day. And you will have ilv 110 set and ready for t6-9 before being able to enter t10-t13.
